SUDDEN MARRIAGE CONTRACT (Sudden Marriage Contract)
DAY OF SORROW

Devana wakes up from her nightmare. He held his chest that felt tight. Feeling very frightened to remember the dream as real as he had earlier.

"You're sober?"

Gege questioned him with his distinctive voice.

Spontan Dev turned his head while sighing. Deva looked at the state of the surrounding rooms. Georgino Gunawan Room.

"When do we end it all, brother?" asked Deva in a hoarse voice.

Suddenly Gege hit him. Hugged Deva tightly while sobbing.

"Grandfather...! Grandpa left us, Deva! Grandfather..called the Almighty!" lirih.

Of course Deva doesn't believe it. He pushed Gege's sturdy and muscular body.

"What's? What does Brother mean?"

"Grandpa's healthy! Grandpa's not sick. Where could Grandpa..."

Devana just realized that the event was not a dream. But real, he experienced everything.

Her tears have dried up. His sadness now made him like a confused person.

Gege led him out.

Everyone both Gunawan Wicaksono's extended family and the conglomerate's relatives and friends looked at Devana like an extraterrestrial.

All the pale-faced, limp and have no desire to embrace each other.

"Grandma!" whisper Dev at Gege.

The man seemed to understand Devana's intentions. He leads Dev into Widia and Gunawan's room. It appears that Widia is fast asleep. The doctor had just injected a sedative so that Widia would not scream and continue to see her dead husband.

"Please don't come any closer!" nani said to Devana in a soft voice. He led Devana to sit in Widia's room.

There was also Fifie who was sitting with a red face and a flood of tears.

"Why is this woman here again?" snapped Fifie on Devana.

"Shh..., Fifie! Don't make a scene! Poor Mama! Let's just calm down for a second. This kid knows nothing too! Even this child is actually just a victim!" nani said in a half-whispering voice.

The men were taking care of Gunawan Wicaksono's body downstairs. The 78-year-old will be buried in the San Diego Hills tomorrow morning.

Everyone was busy, taking care of all the funeral needs Gunawan who died suddenly.

The Flashback

Devana faints while Gunawan also appears claustrophobic.

Everyone was shocked to hear Hadi Yuslan's words about Devana's identity.

Widia and Gunawan looked at each other. Break Gunawan's cry for a moment while hugging Widia's frail body. He kissed the tip of his wife's foot. Repeatedly apologizing for all the khilaf he did when he was young.

Gunawan also apologized to one by one his sons and daughters who were surprised to know the truth.

"Papa apologize to all of you! I'm sorry, Indra, Fifie, Ellie and Lisa! Forgive this weak Papa of faith! Hik..."

"So Papa really had a relationship with Claudia who was Papa's own niece until, Claudia gave birth to a daughter?" The senses are inflamed with a tear at the left end.

"Enough! Enough's enough! We can't judge Papa that frontal!" lerai Indra's. As the firstborn, he felt responsible for maintaining the good name of the Papa who opened his disgrace at this time.

"Sir Hadi! Can these words of the Father be held accountable? It's possible that everything you're telling me is fake, we don't know!" said Indra again. Now his speech was addressed to Sadi Yuslan who was silent.

"I am an accomplice of Mrs Widia since 23 years ago. I used to be a confidant of Mr. Gunawan. And I also witness Mr's love journey with Claudia! I am just a commoner. A lowly employee who was just a private driver. I dare not reprimand Master and Claudia when they often go out for fun. I also keep secrets from Mrs Widia. Until, it turns out that the Madam knows for herself the relationship Claudia has with Mister. In fact, the Madam kicked Claudia out of this house!"

All silent, silent.

"Mrs then pressured me to hide Claudia somewhere, as she was pregnant for two months from that forbidden relationship! From then on, I took Claudia away to K town. He I entrusted to a child shaman in a remote village. Mrs Widia also gave her living expenses every month through me! Until Clau gave birth. But the heavy bleeding left him unable to survive. Claudia died after three hours of giving birth to Devana. I, carrying Devana's tiny body in a house that finally takes care of Devana to adulthood. Even to this day, Anne had no idea that I was behind the dumping of that baby named Devana. I always monitor him every month on the orders of the Madam. To find out the development of Mr and Claudia's daughter, I pretended to be a good person by acknowledging myself as a regular donor. Though all of that is on the orders of Mrs Widia! I.., very sorry. I was once a bad guy. And I want to change my vices!"

Gunawan crying at Widia's feet. No more words asked, why did Widia do such a cruel thing to her own nephew.

He knew he was the guilty one. He made all this mess happen. Even to the point of making the always kind-hearted Widia into a cold, cruel, heartless woman to Claudia.

"Widia, I'm sorry, Widia! Please forgive me!"

Widia rubbed Gunawan's hair slowly. His eyes were wet, now twitching like assent.

Even Widia also embraces Gunawan and pulls Gunawan's arm legs with his weak strength.

"Widia, you really want to forgive me? What have I done to you in the past?"

Widia's gentle gaze further melted Gunawan's heart. He kissed Widia's palm.

"I'm sorry, honey! I know, you are the best! Indra, I have taken all of your sisters without exception! I'm sorry to all of you. Me, not a good Papa! Sorry..., sorry, Papa let you guys down!"

Suddenly Gunawan's body stiffened. His eyes slightly glared for a few seconds, then then gleamed down on the floor.

Everyone in the room thought Gunawan had fainted. Just like Devana. Turns out...

"Master, Master!!! Master Gunawaaan!!!"

Utami was hysterical, his Great Lord's veins disappeared unable to be detected.

Hadi Yuslan and Indra also tried to check Gunawan's condition.

"Father! Papa!!! Up, Pa! Pa wake up!!! Wake up!!! Papa!!!"

The hysterical cries of Indra resuscitated all the children and grandchildren of Gunawan.

By the afternoon of Maghrib, Gunawan had been called the Kholiq. Fortunately, all the stories Widia had been covering up about her had been opened. And Gunawan closed his eyes with a spacious heart and a calm soul.

"Father! Papa!!! Hik hik hicks..."

"Papa wake up, Pa! Pa! Don't leave! Don't leave us all! Pa! Papa!!!"

Widia was just silent, her tears flowing profusely soaking her two cheeks.

He is seriously ill, but Gunawan who actually first taken the Almighty.

Widia shock's. She screamed hysterically, not believing that her beloved husband was dead.

God, why isn't it me you called first, God? Why did it have to be Mas Gunawan who went ahead of me? Taohoo!!! Is this the karma you gave me for my past evil deeds? Lordy! Forgive me! Forgive me too, Gunawan! We are Your sinful servants!

Widia fell asleep after her personal doctor gave her a sedative injection.

She was like a beautiful princess who was slowly weakening quietly with her eyes closed.
